I think Silkroad has two versions, one for RHD and one for LHD. Mine dropped straight in, and was spesificly marked LHD from Silkroad...

Possibly, though he got it directly from Intec which was supposed to have done the LHD research for Silk Road.

Or doesn't it give you the feeling of holding a vibrator in your hand when holding the steering wheel?

lol. THere is a good market for a good regular replacment for the OEM Manifold. Not much people can't decided what route they want to go to. Most people still have stock set-up.

Also most of these headers for LHD are really hard to come by. Also
Price is not really an issue, unless it actualy preform better and the fitment.
Fitment is prob the most concern.

Im too still loving for the right head manifold for basicly.

If price isn't an issue why not look at the Dans Toy header? They have it on one of their project cars and it's LHD.

They cost a pretty penny though...

He received it 10 months after paying
and only because he has called it many times...

another of my friends are still waiting (past 11 months)

so 100% sure TRD (00642-17141-012) fits LHD cars? I am going to japan next month and planning to get that or other header that fits LHD 100% without mods. by the way I am selling my modified RS*R header.
